I have tried many different times to set up a network between my Dimension 3000 and my Inspiron 1501 laptop. We recently added a Vostro 1000 laptop also. None of the file or print sharing will work between these computers, but we can use internet (router is Linksys WRT-54G). I am looking at getting a wireless printer, and am curious if it's worth the extra money (ie. is it going to work if the network isn't setting up properly-I even had a computer tech look at it, and even he was puzzled. I know of another instance where file/print sharing wouldn't work on their system.

All 3 machines are XP Professional. The router is wired to the Dimension desktop.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions/comments/solutions.
